Okay, so 'technically' Friday is the second day of the pre-show, but it's the first day we went. Rachel and I celebrated our anniversary yesterday, so we took the day off from the show and decided to make Friday our 'Day 1' at the pen show. The pre-show is not open to the public, you have to be a special person (or pay a special price) to get in....the main advantage being that you get first dibs on the tons and tons and tons and TONS of vintage pens at the show.
